Drop in, online mixed ability fiddle class/session this Monday 13th at 7pm


Spaces still available for 11 - 14th May fiddle course on Lismore! More below.



Hi folks,


Looking forward to seeing you at our Monday fiddle session. We have two sessions left this term and I probably won’t be running them again until the Autumn 2023. You are welcome to come and try it out - see if it’s a good fit for you and your fiddle.


SELF LEARNING RESOURCES

All the tunes we learn and play in the session are brought by participants. I record them and add them to my library of tunes. You are welcome to go in there and root aboot! There are around 200 tunes at all levels. You need the password to get in - and since you’re on my mailing list you get it free! In case you’ve forgotten it here it is: Lismore21


Drop the password into the ‘Tunes for learning’ tab under ‘workshops’ and you’ll find all the tunes we’re covering on Monday. Click on live links/name of tune


SPRING THE SUMMER LONG - Lauren

This tune written by Phil Cunningham is in the key of F, so low 2nd fingers at the ready!


BROCHAN LOM - Marguerite. This strathspey is very well known as a dance tune. It’s got the classic ‘cut’ that requires fairly fast finger actions and rhythmic bowing.


ITZIKEL - Anne - This Yiddish melody takes us into new harmonic terrain.

Are you struggling with playing fast enough? Frustrated with your tone? Wanting to play the tunes you know better?


At Mairi’s fiddle retreats, feet tap, fiddles flow, and stories and tunes sit side by side. This is where your music weaves into the music of the group. Where we witness differences and delight in similarities.


Who for: mixed ability

Minimum ability: you must have a repertoire of at least three tunes that you can play by ear or written music.


''I came away from the weekend feeling inspired to follow my own creative path."

"I've often felt thet when I first had violin lessons in my teens, the teacher raced me through stuff that I never really consolidated, and I'd missed out on learning about some basic stuff. I've picked up a lot of tips on teaching and group work."


These courses, whether online or live will support your playing wherever it is. Technique, repertoire, friendship and fun!


COST: £300 all inclusive.( accommodation, food and tuition)

Maximum of 8 partcipants. The course will be cancelled if there are fewer than 7 participants.


‘One of the most precious and fabulous learning experiences I’ve ever had’
